Overview
This course explores mathematical modes of thinking that may be interesting of themselves or useful in applications or both. We will select topics of interest to the class from the book, and supplement this with readings from other sources. A detailed syllabus and grading scheme will be formulated soon after soliciting input from the class.
Academic Conduct
By enrolling in this course, each student assumes the responsibilities of an active participant in UMBC's scholarly community in which everyone's academic work and behavior are held to the highest standards of honesty. Cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, and helping others to commit these acts are all forms of academic dishonesty, and they are wrong. Academic misconduct could result in disciplinary action that may include, but is not limited to, suspension or dismissal. To read the full Student Academic Conduct Policy, consult the UMBC Student Handbook, the Faculty Handbook, or the UMBC Policies section of the UMBC Directory.
